The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that Local Plans should provide a positive vision for the future of each area; a framework for addressing housing needs and other economic, social and environmental priorities; and a platform for local people to shape their surroundings.
The NPPF is also clear that Plans should be shaped by early, proportionate and effective engagement between plan-makers and a range of stakeholders including communities.
Runnymede Borough Council has therefore established a Community Planning Panel (CPP) with residents'/community associations from across the Borough to act as a channel for engagement and collaboration with the Borough's communities as sought by the NPPF.
The CPP is made up of residents'/community associations/neighbourhood fora from across the Borough of Runnymede.
If you would like to express an interest in joining the CPP or would like more information, please e-mail planningpolicy@runnymede.gov.uk.
The CPP will meet at appropriate intervals during the preparation of the new Local Plan and the Council will seek comments and contributions from these associations on emerging evidence/draft policies and for the CPP to engage with Council officers as the Runnymede replacement Local Plan is prepared.
If you would like to express an interest in joining the CPP or would like information, please e-mail planningpolicy@runnymede.gov.uk At present the group is at capacity, however, do get in touch if a space becomes available, we will contact you.
The first meeting of the group was on 1 July 2021 at 6.30pm - 8.30pm
The Minutes of subsequent meetings are available to download below
